Being a big fan of the BBC multi-part Lit adaptation and writer Andrew Davies, my expectations were high. I enjoyed the dark, dirty, social commentary of it all. Who doesn't think about debt right now? I'd probably be in Marshalsea. Very topical. <BR/>I found this opening episode to be a lot of set up. Not having read the book at all I felt as if I was playing catch up. I'll have to watch it again. <BR/>I will say that I am in love with Arthur Clennan. Matthew Macfadyen has been on the verge of stardom. He is an excellent actor and this is a great showcase. Claire Foy makes a fine Amy Dorrit, not as sicky sweet, she's the "good" daughter. I can't wait to find out how all the plotlines come together.gettsrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308035461258780034noreply@blogger.com
